Hey Mikymu, I was just reading your post. Let me start by saying, we apologize that you had to modify our parts to fit correctly. Your comment, "Unfortunately most aftermarket products need some sort of modification" is unacceptable in our eyes. Rennline products should fit without modifications and it is VERY important for our customers to notify us when they do not. This allows us to make the required adjustments so the next customer who purchases them has a more pleasant experience. The nice part about Rennline is that we manufacture all of these parts in-house so it is very easy to us to make changes. This particular item was designed around the 964/993 platform and originally advertised for exactly that. We had several customer tell us that they were the same for the later cars so we began to offer them for those cars. Apparently that is all true except for the gt3 fitment. The good news is that it is an easy fix. Mikymu, Please contact us directly so we can discuss this a bit further and also get you a set of mounts that do not require modification. Thanks everyone.

My problem going form 2nd to 3rd gear is mostly operator error. I grip the shift **** from up top too hard which prevent shift linkage from getting into proper alignment for the 2nd to 3rd gear change. I change my shift style only for 2nd to 3rd gear under high G load by "guiding" up the shift linkage with my right thumb and middle finger at the "neck" of the shift **** hence minimize any forced miss alignment. So far zero problem and we will see if anything changes at all with these solid engine mounts
Bob Rouleau commented, while in my car on the Tremblant track, that the same happened with his 07 RS and now with his new 10 RS (with dynamic mounts)..... so.....

Here is the 996 Cup version...not sure how to make it appear like above, more technological challenges for me
I would be interested to see what the parts price out at, if anyone has access to that kind of information

are you sure the Lowe's fasteners and sleeves are the appropriate tensile strength for your application? engine mounts sound like an area where i definitely would make sure appropriate part is used. Sounds like Rennline will get you settled though. looking forward to an update…although i like my dynamic mounts just fine :-D

Wow, this explains why I cant get my car shift into third coming out of turn 7 at sebring. Happens almost every time. It's a 2-3 low speed corner (but accelerating) into a much faster section. Damn thing gives me trouble almost every time. Might have to short shift into 3 before the kink and ride it out. I was starting to wonder if something was broken

Would be interesting to hear about the experience about the solid mount motor mount after some usage. I am not worry about the NVH aspect, but more worry about it being solid that the vibration might shake things loose, affect electronics, etc. (someone mentioned that the vibration was enough to possibly affect the knock sensor, for example, even w/ just semi-solid mount, so I read..)

This is what makes this list so special - another great DIY from mikmyu, feed back on the impacts, near instantaneous response and customer service from a vendor, and a fix on the way.
Thank you, all, for saving me a lot of trouble when I get around to changing the mounts!

My factory and WEVO engine mounts are on it's way to Rennline so they can take measurement to solve some of the fitting issues. I have a feeling there will be another more improved solid Rennline engine mount post soon
